TV - Inspired look

I've been watching a lot of old 'Community' lately, and I was a little too excited to see Annie wearing a dress that I own. Her style is not too different from mine (when I wear a dress or skirt, that is!) but I figured it would be fun to recreate her look.

Inspiration:

Unfortunately, there were no full length shots of her in this outfit, but I think it's safe to assume the bottom half was black tights and flats.

Aside from the obvious differences in photography and scenery, can you tell us apart?

Dress: Forever 21 (Goodwill outlet)

Cardigan: BP (Goodwill Outlet)
Flats: BP (Value Village, $4)

Potentially defective pants?

After a couple weeks of wonderful 80 degree weather, it has cooled off and the mornings are actually quite cold, almost coat-worthy. So we're back to my "uniform" of jeans and cardigans.

Tank: Target | Goodwill by the Pound
Scarf: Goodwill by the Pound
Cardigan: Banana Republic | Free Pile
Jeans: JCrew Matchstick | Goodwill Store | $2.50
Shoes: Cushe Hellyer | giveaway win

These jeans became my favorite pair as soon as I got them, until my mom pointed out that the front and back of them were two different colors.
In actuality, there's a fading treatment on the front, which happens to end right at the seams, creating the illusion (when looking side-on) that the pants were mismatched during production.

I don't think it's too noticeable/horrible, but I have considered doing a bleach or dye treatment to even it out. I'm pretty sure the result would be something worse, and these jeans are otherwise pretty perfect.
